Inscription
Before the dreadfull fire anno 1666 stood the parish church of St Bennet Sherehog.
The lettering on this inscribed stone is delightful: in "THE" the "H" is just a horizontal line joining the "T" to the "E", the two "N"s in "BENNET" share the middle vertical and in "DREADFULL" is that a "U" or an "LL" floating above the "V" ? We have found other plaques with similarly playful use of typefaces and they often seem to come from the 1950s.

The Taxation plaque is the one nearest the camera. The St Benet blue plaque is on the far wall and the St Benet inscribed stone plaque is on the farthest stone pillar.
